Halloween - do you give a f***?

[tezz79]

Exactly this- well the 2nd part anyway. Kids like vampires, zombies, mummies etc. It's great fun for them; nobody's demanding that everybody dresses up.

Saying that, I'm off to a Halloween party in a minute. Going as a zombie rice farmer. With a rubber pig nose. Awesome.

Good on ya mate, you're not hurting anyone.... Bit of fun ain't it

An excuses for nobends to be bigger nobends than they usually are.

worse, its begging with threats. on any other day, with out a silly costume, it would be a criminal offence.

Are you for real ?

So children having fun are "nobends" ?

American crap, bonfire night is our thing

This. It's a load of old cack. Give me a large box of explosives and a pile of burning timber any day.

You lot are mental, how exactly is it killing bonfire night ?

I don't think anyone has a problem with little kids getting dressed up and enjoying themselves. It's their inflicting this "festival" on other people that is objectionable. If I get Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses or Scientologists at my door I tell them politely to f*** off as I have no interest in any of their mumbo jumbo. If I do the same to kids in costumes I get labelled a boring old fogey and risk having something unpleasant done to my home or garden. In no society should that be acceptable

Halloween will never come close to Bonfire Night, never. Christmas doesn't come close to Bonfire Night.

But what's wrong with people having an extra excuse for some fun once a year?

Ain't you got nothing better to worry about, try giving them a couple of jelly babies ffs or just dont answer

I think I know what you're getting at & if I'm right you are a cock, I have 5 children & they enjoy it although I don't take them trick or treating

As I mentioned before they don't actually affect me because I live in a flat. It's the principle I don't agree with. I object to being bothered in my own home, for ANYTHING. Religious fanatics, salesmen, charity fundraisers, they're all as bad as each other. And Trick or Treaters should be included in that list too. I'd be ashamed of going to people I didn't know's houses and asking them for money or sweets. It's embarrassing and awkward and children should learn that it isn't acceptable to go around expecting strangers to give you things for free.

Yeah that's fair enough teens shouldn't do it, I'd tell em to f*** off

We had Halloween in Scotland when I was a nipper, many moons ago. We used to go 'guising' which was dressing up and going round the neighbours where you had to do a song or a poem some kind of party trick thing in return for sweets or an apple or some loose change. It was sort of the treat without the trick. A bit of harmless fun for kids of all ages IMHO. Can't see its changed much apart from the shops are geared up for it now.
